The manager nodded repeatedly, his heart pounding with nervousness, but he still managed to say, "Go on, go on!"
"All of you salespeople, write me an apology letter. If I'm satisfied, this matter will be over!" Fu Ying said without even raising her eyebrows.
The manager was taken aback, then exclaimed happily, "Great! I'll have them write it right away!"
Fu Ying's condition relieved the manager. He had been worried that she would ask for even more demanding conditions, but he felt much better after hearing it.
Under the manager's urging, the three female saleswomen who had been recommended by Fu Ying reluctantly began writing apology letters. Although they were unwilling, they were intimidated by the manager's power. The job was indeed not bad, so they couldn't bear to lose it. If they couldn't bear to lose it, they should hurry up and write the apology letters.
It took the three girls more than ten minutes to finish writing. The manager handed the apology letter to Fu Ying with a smile. Fu Ying took it without even looking at it and handed it to Zhou Xuan, saying, "Take a look. If it's not good, rewrite it!"
Zhou Xuan took it and glanced at it. Writing this apology letter was obviously much more difficult than writing invoices and bills; the handwriting was much worse. However, Zhou Xuan couldn't bear to make things difficult for them. They were all just working people, and everyone knew they wanted to earn some money. He sighed and said, "That's fine!"
However, the money Fu Ying had swiped by card couldn't be transferred back, so the manager had to use a money counter to count the cash from the counter. Fortunately, there was about 300,000 yuan. In the end, the manager even gave her a small travel bag as compensation. After putting the money in, Fu Ying laughed and said, "Xiao Zhou, you're a man, so you're the only one who can do this job!"
Zhou Xuan could only smile and pick up his bag. It felt good to have money, as long as there were no robbers.
After taking the elevator down to the ground floor, Zhou Xuan exclaimed, "Miss Fu, you're amazing! I never imagined a girl as beautiful as you could be!"
Fu Ying said calmly, "It seems you lack social experience. The world is a dog-eat-dog world, where only the fittest survive. There's an old Chinese saying: 'A kind person is bullied, and a good horse is ridden.' I don't object to doing good deeds, but I hate people who are so kind that they're idiotic. That's why I especially hate watching those Hong Kong soap operas. Usually, the protagonists in those dramas are like that!"
Zhou Xuan was almost speechless. What Fu Ying said was actually common sense, but many people just didn't understand it.
Fu Ying continued, “I received independent training from my family when I was young abroad. I also understand that everything has a cause and an effect. If you do something, you have to bear the consequences. I have always believed that everyone has selfishness and greed. Ideals are good, and it is good to talk about great principles, but they must be based on one's own interests. Only when one is well-fed and clothed can one talk about giving and helping others!”
Zhou Xuan was stunned. He understood the logic, but he never thought about it. He smiled and asked, "Miss Fu, you're quite capable, but why did you only make such a simple request to the manager just now?"
Fu Ying smiled and said, "Is it simple? I don't think so. I'm teaching them how to be good people. I'm doing alright today. But if they encounter someone who does it on purpose or makes money this way, they'll be in big trouble. What's a few apology letters? I'm just making sure they don't sleep well for a few days and that they don't look at people so snobbishly!"
He took the apology letters from Zhou Xuan, tore them in half, and threw them into the trash can by the square.
Zhou Xuan shook his head. This Fu Ying was someone he couldn't even imagine. She was both beautiful and intelligent. Didn't the books say that beautiful women aren't intelligent and intelligent women aren't beautiful?
After walking a few steps, Zhou Xuan asked again, "Miss Fu, what exactly do you want to do with me?"

Volume 1, Chapter 35: Snack Shop VS Grand Hotel (Vote Requested)
(Still asking for votes! I've secured the first spot, but the others are really pushing hard, clamoring to 'explode Xiao's chrysanthemum'! Fellow readers, let's support Xiao together! The revolution is not yet complete, everyone still needs to work hard!)
Fu Ying thought for a moment, glanced at Zhou Xuan, smiled, and said, "This... it's a long story, I can't explain it all at once, I'll tell you slowly later... Let's eat something first, I'm so hungry!"
Fu Ying's smile made Zhou Xuan's eyes widen; he quickly turned his head away, not daring to look at her again.
This girl is exceptionally beautiful and intelligent, far beyond my imagination. I should look at her less in the future, lest I be blinded by her. I should just treat her as a temporary boss, and we'll go our separate ways after the job is done.
Fu Ying then said, "Mr. Zhou, this is my second time in China, and it hasn't been long. This is my first time in the South. If you know of any good places to eat, would you take us there?"
“This…” Zhou Xuan was stunned for a moment. He had never been to a high-end restaurant before, so how would he know what good food there was? The most expensive meal he had ever had was over 300 yuan with some colleagues and friends at a food stall, but we mainly drank several cases of beer.
Fu Ying smiled and said, "Why, is it not allowed?"
Zhou Xuan suddenly had a thought. What good food hasn't a girl like Fu Ying eaten? She probably hasn't even tried the worst food. There was a small restaurant he used to frequent that was pretty good. The side dishes were all farm-style, cheap and delicious. He might as well take them there. Whether they ate or not was up to them. Anyway, he didn't need to please her. Their living environments were already so different, so there was no need to put on an act or pretend to be aloof in front of her.
"How about this, I'll take you somewhere, it's on me!" Zhou Xuan said with a smile.
Fu Ying smiled and said, "Sure, I thought you wouldn't want to be my guide. You lead the way!"
Zhou Xuan didn't answer her question. He hailed a taxi, opened the back door, and politely let Fu Ying and Wang Jue get in before sitting in the front and giving the driver an address.
As the buildings on both sides of the road grew shorter and dimmer, Wang Jue asked in confusion, "Where are you taking us? I remember this area seems to be on the outskirts of the city, and there aren't many restaurants here!"
Zhou Xuan said, "Just follow along. Do you think I'm going to kidnap you two and sell you?"
Fu Ying couldn't help but chuckle when she heard this, and Zhou Xuan blushed immediately. These words had just popped out without thinking. With Fu Ying's skills, let alone kidnapping, even if Zhou Xuan called four or five helpers, they probably wouldn't be her type. If it came to force, appearances couldn't be compared. Although Zhou Xuan was a tall and imposing man, he was undoubtedly the one being trampled on in front of Fu Ying.
The taxi stopped, Zhou Xuan paid the fare, then looked at the two graceful young women, pointed to a small alleyway nearby, and said, "Please, ladies!"
Fu Ying didn't mind, she smiled and walked ahead, while Wang Jue frowned as he looked at this remote and old place.
They hadn't walked far when Zhou Xuan pointed to the "Wu Sao Farmhouse Cuisine" snack shop on his left and said, "We're here! This is it!"
As Zhou Xuan spoke, he walked inside, pulled out two chairs, patted the table, and said, "Come in and sit down."
Wang Jue bit her lip and stood there angrily, not moving. Fu Ying walked in with a smile, looked around, and saw that the shop was small, only about 20 square meters. There were tables on both sides against the wall, four on each side, for a total of eight. There were people sitting at two of the tables eating.
Fu Ying sat down with a smile and beckoned to Wang Jue, saying, "Wang Jue, come in, I think you look good!"
Aunt Wu, a woman in her forties, was very familiar with Zhou Xuan. She smiled and asked, "Little Zhou, it's been a long time since I've seen you here. Hehe, are these two yours...?"
Zhou Xuan casually replied without a care in the world, "My boss, Aunt Wu, um... a plate of stir-fried snails, a plate of stir-fried greens, and a dish of stir-fried cured pork with bamboo shoots, plus three steamers, hehe, that's about it, let's eat first and talk later!"
"Okay," Aunt Wu said with a smile. "Would you like something to drink?"
Zhou Xuan glanced at Fu Ying and Wang Jue, and seeing Wang Jue's unhappy expression, he said with a smile, "Bring three bottles of Tsingtao!"
Aunt Wu took three bottles of Tsingtao beer from the freezer, opened the caps, and found they were frozen perfectly, with wisps of white steam rising from the bottle openings.
At the table, Aunt Wu poured wine while saying, "Young lady, you're so beautiful, even more beautiful than the people on TV and in paintings!"
Fu Ying smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt Wu is quite pretty too!"
Aunt Wu chuckled and said, "Me too? Hehe, only you, my sister, have ever said that. Maybe it was true twenty years ago, but now it's too much!"
Fu Ying picked up her glass and took a sip of the ice-cold Tsingtao beer. It was quite nice on a hot day, and tasted different from the red wine and spirits in the hotel.
Wang Jue, however, took a tissue and vigorously wiped the chopsticks, cups, and bowls, wiping them over and over again.
